| Japan's Military Moves Put Skeer in China |
| 2004-12-12 |
| China has expressed "deep concern" about Japan's defense policy overhaul, reported Xinhua, China's main government-run news agency. "We are deeply concerned with the great changes of Japan's military defense strategy and its possible impact," said Zhang Qiyue, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Translation: Shit! Couldn't they have stayed asleep until it was too late? The Japanese government has approved a new National Defense Program Outline. The outline features more proactive use of force and deeper involvement of the self-defense-oriented troops in international affairs. Doncha love diplo-speak: "more proactive use of force" - heh. Japan, the outline says, will continue to watch China's moves in military modernization and marine activities. The document describes China has a potential threat. F**kin' Duh. Zhang said she expressed China's "strong dissatisfaction" to the Japanese government. "This is totally groundless and extremely irresponsible," she said. Copyright 2004 by United Press International. Heh. The Goldren Dragon is unhappy and sounding a bit pissy. Gooood. |

| #8 Rest assured that buried somewhere deep in the politburo's archives is an ancient map depicting Japan as a territorial possession of China. If it isn't there right now, don't worry, it will be soon. Japan needs to take a page from Taiwan. So far as China is concerned, an island is an island is an island ... |

| #7 CHINA, Communism, and Radical Islam share one common attribute in that once you submit or convert, you can NEVER leave lest on pain of death, exile, or both, for you as well as your family, clan, and friends - you know, individual- and societal/mass-based freedom, democracy, and utopianism!? |

| #6 "Deep concern"? I love it. US + Japan + Australia + India. There's a coalition of democracies that we should be transforming into something close to a formal alliance. PS Sorry, Volodya. Russia's in the doghouse and will be for a while. Perhaps they'll stop screwing with us in Iran. That's the best we can hope for in the near term. |

| #5 Lets see: Failure to control chain dog NORKS or force them to behave in any sane way. Constant threats of attack and invasion to Formosa. Masive army Huge army controled industries. Naval build up. Then they get exiceted and nervous with Nippon changing it's defense stance in a minor way? LMAO at China's response. Priceless. |

| #4 Japan conquered China once before in the not-too-distant past; might be fun to see them do it again. Popcorn alert? ;-p |

| #3 Wake up now, smack down Kimmie, and get your damned subs out of Japanese waters and maybe, just maybe, you won't have to face the rising sun. |

| #1 Yeah, this is great. Their belligerent attitude finally got a rise out of someone other than us. They think they can intimidate Taiwan, but the samurai are a different story. |
